About this author

edit data

I was born in London and after studying Mathematics at University I had a career as a software engineer for nearly thirty years. I’m a keen mountaineer and I’ve climbed in the Alps, Alaska and South America.

In 2009 I trained as an English Language teacher and subsequently spent time in South America, which provided much of the background for The Banker.

The Banker is my first novel.
